A tripartite structure is recorded from near the antennae, consisting of elevated walls arranged in a semicircle (likely to enlarge the surface for an excretory organ as in modern crustaceans), a pore representing an opening of the “antennal gland” (the purpose of which is unknown) and a sickle-shaped furrow surrounding this pore.
The coxal gland is thought to be homologous with the antennal gland of crustaceans. The gland consists of an end sac (saccule), a long duct (labyrinth) and a terminal bladder (reservoir). [2] There is generally only one pair (two in some spiders), and they open on the coxae of the walking legs [1] or at the base of the second antennae in the ...
In Crustacea, the saccate metanephridia are associated with the antennae and form the antennal gland. In freshwater crustacea , the saccate metanephridia are especially large due to their role in osmoregulation; crustacea must remove large amounts of water from the tissues, as the cells are hypertonic to the surrounding water.
Antennae (sg.: antenna) (sometimes referred to as "feelers") are paired appendages used for sensing in arthropods. Antennae are connected to the first one or two segments of the arthropod head. They vary widely in form but are always made of one or more jointed segments.
The Fabunan Antiviral Injection (FAI) is a patented medicine administered to patients by US-based Filipino doctors Ruben and Willie Fabunan, who assured that it can treat dengue fever, chikungunya, dog bite, snakebite, and HIV/AIDS. [1]
For a more outside-the-box approach, this bug bite treatment delivers concentrated heat to the bite, according to King. “ Studies demonstrate a reduction in swelling, pain and itching [with this ...
A dog in West Virginia is thriving after a suspected snake bite which left him with an extremely swollen head.. The story of the dog's plight recently went viral following a Reddit mention, but ...
An ionocyte (formerly called a chloride cell) is a mitochondrion-rich cell within ionoregulatory organs of animals, such as teleost fish gill, insect Malpighian tubules, crustacean gills, antennal glands and maxillary glands, and copepod Crusalis organs. [1]
